About St Michael and All Angels Catholic Primary School

St Michael and All Angels Catholic Primary School sits within the Wirral local authority, where it ranks 27th out of 64 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure. That places it in the top half of Wirral primaries, though some distance behind the three highest-scoring peers in the area: Thornton Hough Primary School, Our Lady of Pity Catholic Primary and Nursery School, and Poulton Lancelyn Primary School. The school is a Roman Catholic state primary for mixed pupils aged 2 to 11, with a nursery on site and a current roll of 216 children against a capacity of 236. It is notably more diverse in intake than many local schools — 45.6 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average. The headteacher is Susan Ralph, and the school’s most recent graded Ofsted inspection, in 2016, rated it Good overall, with leadership and management, early years provision, and behaviour all judged Good. An ungraded inspection in 2021 confirmed the school remains Good.
